Adaptxt – the intelligent text entry for S60 in beta now
September 24, 2008
Our S60 3rd Edition smartphones come with a built-in predictive text input which is always referred to as T9. If there’s a BETTER solution out there, would you want to ditch T9 and use the new solution? The answer for me is definitely a BIG YES! Here comes Adaptxt, now in beta for S60 3rd Edition. It is available for public testing (90 days period) from the developer’s website. And frankly, after using Adaptxt, the built-in T9 feels soooooo yesteryears! It’s a language solution, not just a predictive text input…. Give it a try will ya!
How to: Symbian Sign Applications using Open Signed (need publisher ID)
March 4, 2008
As of now, you need a Published ID to do this.
The people at Symbian Signed has worked hard to provide us, the users, an easy way of signing our applications without using additional applications or paying Publisher ID’s. The whole process is now handled directly from the Symbian Signed webpage and all you need is a working e-mail adress. The service is still in beta and is somewhat limited which is also why I myself have not had a chance to try it out yet so consider this post a beta aswell for now (but I will of course, and I’ll update this post when I have).
Many cudos to all the people and Symbian Signed who made this a reality!
The main features of this signing option are:
- the process is online
- no Publisher ID is required
- no Symbian Signed account is required
- no tool downloads are required, so it is platform independent
- all user and most system capabilities may be requested (excludes the Restricted System Capabilities CommDD, DiskAdmin, NetworkControl, MultimediaDD and Device Manufacturer capabilities)
- applications are restricted to one device, specified by IMEI
- there is no cost to developers.
So you want to sign an unsigned freeware or shareware application/game? No problem, it should be easy, keep reading after the break and I’ll guide you all the way.
